A week ago, a popular #Tesla fluffer named @HansNoordsij said with absolute certainty that the Model 3 hsa been homologated in the EU. I called him out on this blatant LIE.

2/ Having just spent a stupid amount of time looking through EU/UN homologation literature, I had a decent grasp on these standards. My suspicions that the $TSLA Model 3 is very far from EU homologation was backed up by more knowledgeable commentators.

3/ Anyway, @HansNoordsij dismissed me as "FUD". Hans attended to the #Tesla Eindhoven store's grand opening and said he would inquire about Model 3 homologation there, and would reply to me about it. Meanwhile, he insisted that the Model 3 has been homologated "for months" now.

1/ A little side thread on Japanese Auto industry as I keep on posting threads on Panasonic & #Tesla. It’s useful to know who is allied w/ whom as we consider the Pana-Tesla relationship. For non-auto ppl, because it’s all common knowledge for auto ppl.

$TSLA $TSLAQ

2/ As a major supplier of navigation & auto infotainment equipment (among other parts), Pana has relationship w/ all Japanese Auto co’s. Toyota remains the closest ally, although Pana also works w/ Honda & others on Automotive batteries.

3/ Just like its US & European counterparts, consolidation of Auto industry is slowly happening. There are currently 8 major auto co’s based in Japan, all in top 30 in the world by sales #.

Per @PlainSite the Tesla employee indictment of 10 counts is only 10 pages long. That's unusual for an indictment with that number of charges. Charges 1-9 are the same, wire fraud, but still odd.
These are felony charges. $TSLA $TSLAQ #Tesla

Bail for financial crimes can be any amount, usually ranging from $50,000 up to $5 million (in rare circumstances more). Bail is not set at time of arrest as the felon must appear in court before a judge (in federal cuffs-feet & arms shackled).

For those who want to support @Tesla but can't afford one here are a few ways you can support

1. Stock. Use the Robinhood app to buy stock in Tesla if you have the $$$

2. If you don't have $ for stock then buy a t shirt from the Tesla Store online.

3. You can also visit the Tesla store in your area

4. Stop buy Tesla superchargers in your area. Befriend local drivers. Buy them coffee (gift them a Starbucks card if you like) I don't suggest homemade stuff because me personally I would toss it. Crazy ppl out there.

5. Whenever you are talking about Tesla use the tags #Tesla $Tesla and be sure to mention them @Tesla. This will help them trend more on Twitter. The more ppl talking about Tesla = more publicity which companies pay millions for.

1/ The #Tesla Model 3 is one of the most efficient #EV on a range/kWh basis, followed closely by the Bolt. Meanwhile the “Tesla Killers” lag significantly.

2/ “But they’re different types of cars so they aren’t comparable!” That’s why we put them into our physics based model that simulates EPA range to separate out form factor from battery/drivetrain efficiency.

3/ Even accounting for the fact that the Jaguar iPace is an SUV, it’s far less efficient than the Model 3.

Alright, let's do this again:
SEC = Civil
If SEC finds criminal activity they kick to
DOJ = Civil + Criminal
By the time DOJ subpoenas are served civil is known.
Goal of civil is to get enough information to indict on criminal through a grand jury.
$TSLA #Tesla

By the time DOJ subpoenas are served the target(s) of the criminal investigation have already had their trash dug-through by FBI agents for months.
$TSLA #Tesla

By the time DOJ subpoenas are served in criminal investigations most former employers of significance have been interviewed in exchange for immunity. As part of their immunity deal they MUST cooperate with the feds which includes in some cases wearing a wire.

MUNRO THREAD 2/ Who is the unnamed corporation muzzling Munro? The PDF linked above offers some possibilities: BMW and GM.

The report includes side-by-side analyses of the Model 3 with the BMW i3 and Chevy Bolt.

Might these companies fear head-to-head comparisons with Model 3?

MUNRO THREAD 3/ Another possibility is Siemens. They partnered with Munro to measure noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) and body-in-white (BIW) performance. Though I can't see why Siemens would care if Munro talked to the press.

He appears to be invested in a bunch of random ventures; rockets, $TSLA cars, tunnels..

But I think it's all connected. He's doing all of this with a very simple goal: the long-term survival of humanity.

A thread:

1/ #climatechange or #GlobalWarming is a huge threat. 14% of ghg emissions are from transportation, and 25% from electricity and heat generation. This is where @Tesla comes in. By electrifying our vehicle fleet, we can already eliminate a big chunk of emissions.

2/ The Semi will probably save more CO2 than all other #Tesla vehicles combined. Trucks drive an insane amount of miles compared to cars, & they pull a lot of cargo.

Second part of this is the energy generation & storage with Tesla Energy. Greenify the grid 👉 less CO2 emissions

This thread presents my quarterly projections, which I believe if #Tesla achieves, would value $TSLA at $2,500 by 4Q21 and $5,000 by 4Q23. I use them to track @Tesla's progress. Poll follows each projection. Please vote, discuss, and retweet for larger sample.

1/ It's time to deconstruct this article @cleantechnica republished on #Tesla Energy. I enjoy the site and there is some good reporting there, but I respectfully submit that this article is so materially misleading that it ought to be retracted. $TSLA

2/ Let's start with this claim. Did you know that Tesla Energy grew by a 'whopping 516%' in 2017? Me neither. Because it didn't. $TSLA

3/ Tesla Energy consists of SolarCity and their battery business. It did $1.116B in combined revenue in 2017. How did these same businesses do in 2016? Go to the last SolarCity 10K. In 2016 SolarCity did $730.3MM in revenue. $TSLA

1/ A friendly reminder of what really matters with #Tesla. It isn't today's stock action or yesterday's executive departure. That's all noise. Before proceeding, disclosures: short via puts, not investment advice, do your own research, etc. etc. etc.

2/ At the highest level, gross profit - operating expenses - interest = pretax profit. It is really that simple. To assess a company, look at those three things. For $TSLA, gross profit can be divided into auto and everything else.

@elonmusk@Tesla@TeslaMotorsClub#Tesla 5285 is pissed. since my Tesla is out of warranty. Since I see everyone having issues. I'm going to tear my pos lemon apart. I diagnosed the door, expect a door teardown of why the window does not work right. Fix your QC Tesla.
